Dinner Time!

We are now on a dinner break. Play will resume at 7:15pm local time.

Just prior to starting the dinner break, there was a pause in the action to announce a multi-year sponsorship deal for All-In Energy Drink as the official energy drink of the World Series of Poker. This is a Johnny Chan endeavor, and TD Jack Effel called Phil Hellmuth to the stage to introduce Chan.

"That's ok, you guys can boo," said Hellmuth as he mounted the stage. The gallery complied, to Hellmuth's delight. After a few kind words about Chan, Hellmuth called him to the stage.

"Who's gonna win, Johnny?" asked Hellmuth.

"I don't care who's going to win," replied Chan. "I just care who's going to drink the most All-In Energy Drink."

"That was a pretty shameless plug, Johnny."

Maybe so, but Chan didn't seem to care.
